I am planning a cruise on Sunday 24/03/13, will put a full route up soon. Will meet at the Ponderosa Cafe http://www.ponderosacafe.co.uk/ at 09:00am for a breakfast recommended by Mozza (if required) Then on to Barmouth, Portmadoc Cricith, Pwllhelli. Then a stop here http://www.glasfryn.co.uk/ I feel a race will be forthcoming here On to Caernarfon, Llanberis Betwys Y Coed, Then the Evo, and home.

I know there is a lot going on what with the west country and batlefields run but i can not believe the little response this has generated. Jims welsh cruises are some of the best cruises you can get. Fab roads scenery and company. You can even treat your other halfs by having a dirty night away lol all for an experience you wont forget. Ask anyone who has been on one. So come on all them who havnt anything planned get the Zed out and come and join us. Would be nice to meet some of the new folk.

I've done the area when I had a weekender in Wrexham, unfortunately it's a little too far for a one dayer and I work Saturdays

We would also like to join in with the cruise on the 24th, this would be our first cruise since owning our Topaz Blue 2.8 last May, hope the sunshine comes out, Only 3 miles for me from the Pondarosa looking forward to a nice day out.

I'm thinking of joining you, but just out of interest what time do you think you'll be leaving the Ponderosa? May have to make a weekend of it and stop in Llangollen on the Sat night - Mrs Mint will be happier rather than getting up v. early on Sunday .

There are only two products required to make the universe work properly: Duct tape and WD40.
If it moves (and it shouldn’t): Duct tape. If it doesn’t move (and it should): WD40.

Looking at leaving at around 10:00am, If you need somewhere to stay try the Bryn Howel Hotel doing some good prices at the moment, Billz is booked in on the Saturday Night I think he paid £40 for bed and breakfast for him and his much better half..

Hope you can make it, The roads and scenery are among the best in the country, will be a really good day, Look forward to meeting you..

Hi Jim count us in for this one, Mrs Mint and I are definately coming I couldn't get in the Bryn Howel Hotel as it is fully booked . I've got a double room at the Abbey Grange Hotel for £55 including breakfast - not too bad. So we'll see you at the Ponderosa for a tea & coffee.
Looking forward to meeting some more people from the forum, lets hope for good weather

Great stuff, be good to meet you and your wife.

The Abbey Grange has a fantastic location, Opposite Valley Cruises Abbey foods very good as well, well worth the money. 5 minutes drive into Llangollen and right at the bottom of the Horseshoe pass Good Choice

Cheers Jim, good to hear the hotel is ok. Lets hope the weather sorts itself out by the 24th - we've had snow showers here today

I am very tempted to come on this one. Would I be welcome at short notice. My problem is, the car is being MOT'd on Saturday and hopefully, 2 new rear tyres will have been delivered by then and fitted. Mytyres.co.uk say that delivery of the tyres is 27th March so not sure i will have them on in time.
